The 56-foot, cold-molded Anna borrows generously from one of Sparkman & Stephen's most famous and beloved designs, Stormy Weather.

"We've maintained most of the aesthetic elements of the older boat -- her sheerline, her tumblehome, the shape of her house, the configuration of her cockpit, her overhangs and transom -- and placed them on a modern, efficient underbody, " says S&S chief naval architect Greg Matzat. The 56-foot, cold-molded Anna borrows generously from one of S&S's most famous and beloved designs, Stormy Weather, which spring from the boards of the company in the mid-1930s under the watchful eye of S&S co-founder Olin J. Stephens II. In her day, Stormy Weather represented the latest thinking in racing yacht technology. Stephens has identified Stormy Weather as one of his favorite designs.
